A small building on the S side of Fordell's Lodging (NT18SW 80) which was demolished in 1913 was dated by Stephen to the early 16th-century, with a 17th-century addition on the N side. The older part of the dwelling had two entrances, one giving access to a vaulted ground floor chamber, and a second by a passage through the building, to the original outside stair at the rear. All that now remains of this dwelling is the scar of the vaulting on the N gable of the Queens Hotel. Mears' plan suggests that the structure was cut back into the rear slope.
